The title of Vijay-Chimbudevan's upcoming film has been officially confirmed as "Puli."
Earlier, a lot of names were doing the rounds including "Mareesan," "Garuda," "Puli" and Maru Dheeran." But the makers have finally revealed the name as on Vijay's Twitter handle.
"We @SKTStudios are proud & happy to announce that our upcoming film with Ilayathalapathy Vijay is titled as #PULI," the makers of the film tweeted.
"Puli" is one of the most-awaited Tamil films of 2015. The Vijay starrer will reportedly have the actor playing dual roles. Buzz is that he will be appearing as a commander as a dwarf in the film, though there is no official confirmation in this regard.
Yesteryear actress Sridevi is making her comeback to the Tamil film industry after several years with this film. She will be seen playing the role of a queen, while Kannada actor Sudeep will be appearing as a commander. Hansika Motwani will be seen as princess and the daughter of Sridevi. Details about the role of the film's other heroine – Shruti Haasan- are not yet revealed.
There are big expectations on "Puli" as Vijay has a massive fan-following worldwide. This is the first time that the actor has teamed up with director Chimbudevan, who is popular for making fictional entertainers like "Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikesi" and "Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam."
"Puli" is reportedly made with a huge budget and is said to be the costliest film in Vijay's career so far. The shooting of the film commenced on the outskirts of ECR and the team is reportedly planning to work in never-seen-before locations across India.
The Vijay-starrer might be dubbed in the Hindi version as many corporates including Eros International have shown interest in acquiring the Hindi rights of the film, reported Behindwoods.
The film's music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad, while the lyrics are written by Vairamuthu. Its cinematography is handled by Natraj Subramaniam (Natty) and editing is done by Sreekar Prasad. The Vijay-starrer is produced by PT Selvakumar and Shibu Thameens.
